Ouch.. was hoping for a little better than 11.8mpg with pretty much all highway driving
Time to install new wheel lugs, so town fair tire can mess them all up when i get new tires (which are still backordered)

Yet another reason I avoid chain tire stores like them.

Theyve actually been pretty decent, but ive never brought my aftermarket wheels there, which you are not supposed to use impact guns on. i tried it, and messed up a few lugs (in addition to the one that was messed up somehow when we were doing my headers).
I might take a drive over to Tires International, havent been there before, but curious if they have a similar price-match to town fair tire. thats about the only way i can afford STTs from them. They want something insane like $370 for a 35x12.5x17 STT. I found them online for $273ea with $150 shipping, so they will come in a little lower a tire (to match shipping) at $303. $1318 for 4 tires, mounted, balanced, aligned. Id buy them online from them and have them mount them, but i think itd be more expensive, and then i dont get the hazard warranty from a local place. Maybe ill just bring the print out of where i found these tires cheap to this other place and see what they'll do

I only deal with Tire Depot in Bristol which specializes in Cooper tires. I have also used CT Tire in Berlin for alignments and would go there again any time. I believe Ray also gets his tires from them.
